"If you look at successful people, nine times out of ten they will tell you stories of tremendous struggle. If you've got a different kind of brain and, I submit, that most interesting people do, that's great. Never lose sight of those strengths, those talents, because that is what's going to take you to great places."

Lemon Tree is a family owned speech therapy center dedicated to helping children and teens with language–based learning differences. The center was created to help identify and treat those students who feel an overwhelming sense of frustration with learning and often times, slip through the cracks. If not properly identiﬁed and understood, learning differences can have devastating effects on a child’s educational, social, and emotional well-being. Lemon Tree offers positive solutions and support to students who, although bright, are not responding to traditional education and intervention. Lemon Tree specializes in the ability to zero in on the root cause of children’s learning difﬁculty and intervene with the right treatment that effectively retrains their underlying weakness. Our goal is to empower students to identify their innate strengths as learners and reach their intended educational potential.

HOW DO WE DO IT?

THE BREAKDOWN:

✤ First, we identify and target the underlying deﬁcit.

Identifying and understanding the underlying deﬁcit is of paramount importance to the success of your child’s educational progress. If the underlying deﬁcit is not properly identiﬁed or understood, your resources can quickly be drained with little or no results. Furthermore, the negative impact of yet another frustrating, non-productive learning experience for your child will only add insult to injury to his emotional well-being.

✤ Then we intervene with the right treatment strategies.

The domino effect. With the underlying deﬁcit properly identiﬁed, we can intervene with the right treatment strategies. Hence, our mantra: work smarter, not harder. If your child is not responding to traditional education, repetition and trying harder is certainly not the solution. Your child learns differently. You have to intervene differently. With the right treatment strategies and approaches, your child’s processing pathways can be retrained to make reading, writing, and language more efficient.

THE OUTCOME:

Improved learning efﬁciency, restored self-conﬁdence and more time for your child to enjoy being a kid.
